YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office (YCSO) has issued a notification regarding a Level 3 sex offender in the Yuma community.
YCSO says 38-year-old Emerio Francisco Gutierrez Jr. told them he is living in the area of E. South Frontage Road and S. Fortuna Road in Yuma.
Gutierrez is described by YCSO as five-feet, three-inches tall, weighing 140 pounds, has black hair and brown eyes, and is not wanted by YCSO at this time.
In September of 2005, Gutierrez pled guilty to one count of attempted sexual conduct with a minor in the Yuma County Superior Court, YCSO says.
He was sentenced to 3.5 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections, with credit for 107 days served, and placed on lifetime supervised probation, according to YCSO.
In September of 2010, YCSO says Gutierrez was then convicted of failure to register as a sex offender in the Yuma County Superior Court.
“His probation was revoked and he was ordered to serve 7.5 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections, with credit for 267 days served prior to sentencing,” YCSO says.
Gutierrez is considered by YCSO as a Level 3 sex offender with a high risk to reoffend.
